State Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Board

The State Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Board advises Sở Y tế on policies, programs, and funding priorities related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) prevention, treatment, and long-term support services in Hawaii. The board reviews data on TBI incidence and outcomes, evaluates programs funded by the Hawaii Neurotrauma Special Fund, and recommends improvements to the continuum of care for people living with TBI. It also promotes public awareness about TBI prevention, particularly among youth and active military populations.

Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of disability in Hawaii, and this board shapes the services and resources available to survivors and their families across the state. TBI survivors, caregivers, healthcare providers, and advocates can engage with the board to influence funding priorities and policy recommendations.
